In BG1 there are several other mages which are a nice substitute for Edwin, and besides, taking him into your party should exclude Minsc and Dynaheir (not counting errors in the game when you pick up Minsc after you've killed Dynaheir), and those characters are pretty popular in BG1 for some reason. In BG2 it's different, Edwin is the only full mage in the game with a few very interesting features, like the bonus amount of spells to learn. While Edwin is very popular character in BG2, in BG1 he wasn't.
